For Xiao Anhe, it was because of that blood relationship that, all these years, no matter how indifferent Xiao Qinghan was to him, she never doubted anything.
He even interpreted Fang Wanxin's last words as Qian Yue'e's influence on him being too strong, and Fang Wanxin was worried that Xiao Qinghan would not treat him well if he listened to Qian Yue'e's words, never considering whether he was her biological son or not.
Xiao Qinghan is not Xiao Qinghan. This seemingly contradictory statement is actually not contradictory at all, and it directly clarifies a fact.
That's right, Xiao Anhe has already concluded that the Xiao Qinghan who passed away not long ago, the Xiao Qinghan who has been the head of the Xiao family for so many years, is not the real Xiao Qinghan.
No matter how certain you feel it is, you still need to find supporting evidence to prove it.
After having An Jingfeng stay behind to pack up Fang Bingnan's belongings and send them back to his nephew in his hometown, Xiao Anhe returned to China first.
This time, he didn't go to City B, but went directly to City X.
As soon as I got off the plane, I boarded a business car that had been waiting at the airport and drove in a certain direction, where people with official positions like deputy... lived together.
However, this time Xiao Anhe was not going to see the deputy... but Fang Min, his maternal grandfather whom he had not seen for many years.
The car drove very fast and soon arrived at a road lined with towering trees on both sides. Behind the trees, there were rows of white detached villas.
When he was very young, he came here twice with Fang Wanxin. Instead of letting the driver continue driving, he got off and walked towards the Western-style building he remembered.
The security at the compound must be very tight. The driver was wondering how Xiao Anhe could get in when he saw him say something to the security guard, who was armed, and the guard immediately let him in.
Xiao Anhe had a good memory. As soon as he stood in front of a white villa, he heard that arrogant and domineering voice from many years ago coming from inside.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Du Fangyun is still so domineering and assertive in front of Fang Min.
Du Fangyun had a loud voice that could be heard even from outside the garden. Xiao Anhe could clearly hear her cursing Fang Min.
Years have passed, and Fang Min has not changed much. She remains silent in the face of Du Fangyun's cursing.
Xiao Anhe pressed the doorbell without hesitation.
Soon a servant-like person came over. He didn't want to open the door, but he couldn't resist the intimidating aura emanating from Xiao Anhe.
As if drawn by some kind of magic, he opened the iron gate.
When Xiao Anhe appeared at the main house door, he coughed loudly, and the cursing inside immediately stopped, replaced by Du Fangyun's voice scolding the servants, "What are you all doing now, letting anyone in like that! Get them out of here right now..."
Before she could even utter the last "go," she was stunned when she saw the face of the person standing at the door. The face looked so familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
After thinking for a moment, she realized why he looked familiar: the young man looked very much like Fang Wanxin from back then.
She didn't even need to ask; she was certain that the person standing at her doorstep was Fang Wanxin's son.
Once she confirmed Xiao Anhe's identity, her face immediately fell. "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Anhe glanced at her briefly before looking past her and onto Fang Min. "Grandpa, it's been a long time. How are you doing?"
Fang Min seemed to only come to her senses at this moment. She stood up from the sofa, stared intently at Xiao Anhe, and asked uncertainly, "Are you Anhe?"
For Fang Min, her memory of Xiao Anhe was still that he was three or four years old. Time really flies; in the blink of an eye, he's a young man.
“Grandpa.” Xiao Anhe behaved appropriately, politely and humbly, “It’s me, I’m Anhe.”
It was clear that Fang Min was very excited to see Xiao Anhe. If it weren't for Du Yunfang's presence, she probably would have already stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Anhe's hand, and looked at him closely.
Du Fangyun had never liked Fang Wanxin's stepdaughter, and by extension, she disliked Xiao Anhe as well. She snorted and interjected, "Fang Min, don't forget that Weiwei is bringing his girlfriend home for dinner later. Get ready in advance."
The Weiwei that Du Fangyun mentioned is her and Fang Min's son, Fang Wei, who is also in his forties and still unmarried, which is a constant worry for Du Fangyun.
Even if Fang Wei can't have children and she can't be a grandmother in this life, she still needs to marry a daughter-in-law. In case she and Fang Min pass away in the future, she will feel at ease knowing that someone can take care of Fang Wei.
Therefore, people are selfish creatures. Even though Fang Wanxin is also Fang Min's child, Du Fangyun still favors her over Fang Min.
Fang Min suppressed his excitement. They looked so alike, so incredibly alike. Seeing Xiao Anhe made him think of Fang Wanxin.
As a father, he always felt guilty towards Fang Wanxin.
If he hadn't been greedy for power back then, how could he have sent Fang Wanxin to his mother's hometown in B City?
If she hadn't gone to City B, she wouldn't have met Xiao Qinghan from the Xiao family in City B.
Not many things will happen after that.
Xiao Anhe had studied psychology and graduated with honors. He was certain that Fang Min knew a lot of things just by looking at Fang Min's eyes.
"Grandpa." He could tell that Du Fangyun was telling him to leave, so he pretended not to understand anything and said directly to Fang Min, "Grandpa, may I use your study? There are many things I need to talk to you about alone."
Fang Min nodded. "The study is on the second floor."
No matter how loud Du Fangyun made behind her, even when she started smashing vases, Fang Min didn't turn around.
Having spent so many years in officialdom and risen to this position, it would be a lie to say he was naive. He knew that turning against Du Fangyun while the situation above was still unclear was extremely risky, yet he still took the risk without turning back. This shows that he had something to say to Xiao Anhe.
